* Twenty years ago, an unfulfilled corporate lawyer with a remarkable personal history sat up in bed and realized what he wanted to do with his life. That lawyer was Robert Meeropol**, and the organization that he immediately got to work building was the Rosenberg Fund for Children.
The Rosenberg Fund for Children is a public foundation that provides the shelter of a supportive community for children - including those in the SF Bay Area - whose parents have been targeted because of their involvement in progressive movements including the struggles to wage peace; preserve civil liberties; safeguard the environment; and organize on behalf of workers, prisoners and others whose human rights are under threat.

(**Robert was orphaned at age six when his parents, Ethel & Julius Rosenberg, were executed at the height of the McCarthy Era. The RFC makes grants to help children in the U.S. whose parents are targeted, progressive activists.)
